| Obverse description | A plain cross with a pellet in each angle occupies the center of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding outer legend reads HLVDOVVICVS IMP in crude Carolingian capital letters, identifying the issuer as Emperor Louis. The overall style is characteristic of early ninth-century Carolingian hammered coinage, with irregular flan shape and rough execution typical of provincial mint output. |
